Users easily adjust the height of their multi-station Perch desk for a total of 100 different arrangements

Perch is a new take on the standing desk model. With fitness and ergonomics enjoying increasing popularity in the working world, developer Nick Salisbury wanted to offer a standing desk that was easier to use and afford than those currently in the market.

A standing desk is far from a new concept, but Salisbury’s model allows for customization with neither movable bolts nor electrical components.

It instead uses a set of notches and shelves that set each shelf in place at the ideal ergonomic height for each individual user for a combined total of 100 different positions.

The customization is completely modular, allowing a user to place the monitor, keyboard and mouse all at different elevations if that’s the most comfortable arrangement for them.

When the notches hold the shelves in place, they hook around the sides of the table’s structure. This helps prevent any wobbling from the weight of monitors and other objects. The design also makes for easy changing of elevations, either because a user wants to sit and rest or because a new user wants to access the desk. The changeable structure also allows for somebody to train themselves to use a standing desk, using a standing height for part of the day and a sitting height for the remainder.

Perch is also designed to be affordable, a feat they accomplish by constructing it to rest on an existing table or desk as opposed to having its own legs. Desks available in the Kickstarter range from 29 inches wide for $199 to 38 inches wide for $229.
